Geoffrey James

Geoffrey James has sold and written hundreds of features, articles and columns for national publications including Wired, Men's Health, Business 2.0, SellingPower, Brand World, Computer Gaming World, CIO, The New York Times and (of course) BNET. He is the author of seven books, including Business Wisdom of the Electronic Elite (translated into seven languages and selected by four book clubs), and The Tao of Programming (widely quoted on the Web as a "canonical book of computer humor".) He was also co-host of Funny Business, a program on New England's largest all-talk radio station and has given seminars and keynotes at numerous corporations, including Rackspace, Gartner, Lucent and Houston Industries. Geoffrey attributes his success to the uncommon realization that freelancing is "50 percent sales and 50 percent delivery." When writing about Sales, he draws on his prior experience marketing and selling multi-million dollar computer systems, his daily experience selling his own services, and the fact that every month he's personally being coached, one-on-one, by the world's top sales trainers.

Richard Wagoner was a joke. Does that count?

Don McMillan came to one of our sales meetings and killed. The CEO had to follow him and decided that he needed to be funny too. Not a good thing.
